katie melua Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 That's harsh on the keeper He kept the score down tonight. Nothing he could do about the goals nor about the dreadful defending in front of him Could have been our record defeat had it not been for him.

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Wow, how did Mendez Laing, and Paterson score so high? Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, our postwar record defeats are 8-0 which we've successfully achieved at Newcastle and Middlesbrough so Sunderland would have given it a certain North East symmetry. I thought the first goal was offside by the way. With VAR I'm sure we would have gone on to .,... well you knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there is a way to devise an algorithm to pick who is the best footballer in a given match one day, but they are so far off if they feed in today's game and it comes out that Paterson was the best Wednesday player.

Fans' ratings, though interesting enough, are too emotional and lack any real consistency. At least whoscored.com's ratings are based on objective stats. Yes, they then have to apply an algorithm to ascribe a value to these, but they're the same each game and as such are unaffected because an angry Owlstalker had one too many Stellas before posting his ratings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but the WhoScored algorithm is far too basic to be able to judge something a complex as a game of football. Things like pace, the weight of a pass, positional awareness, organisational skills, being on the wrong end of a bad decision, etc. just don't get factored in. Paterson has committed most fouls on the team, hoofed a couple of crossed into row Z, completely failed do anything progressive with the ball into his feet, shown no movement or pace, failed to press the opposition defenders and generally had a stinker. Presumably the algorithm is giving him credit for winning 5 headers, although most of those didn't go anywhere or do anything to affect the game. If the algorithm is wrong you're just feeding nonsense in and getting nonsense out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to suggest that the collective minds of Owlstalk, with all our differences of opinion, extreme scores, and long-held biases, somehow provide more accurate ratings is laughable, I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
